She is a CEO novel Chapter 485

"Don't think about it," Otis made up his mind and said. "I saw you and Lola acting so close. I thought you'd move on"

"No way," Arthur said with a self-deprecating laugh. "I know I'm flirting with Lola, but it's justI got in a rage. I met Lucia at a party the other night, and she told me to start a new relationship..."

Did Lucia say that?

Otis raised his eyebrows slightly and thought about Lucia's state of mind at that time. It was probably just a jealous remark, but his brother took it seriously.

"If you don't want to, don't get close to her so you don't end up in a dilemma," Otis told his brother.

"I know," said Arthur, with his head slightly lowered and his eyes wandering to the sunlit cityscape outside the window.

"She should be leaving soon."

Stupid brother! Otis cursed in the bottom of his heart. That woman came here for you. If you did not state your attitude, how could she leave!?

But on the surface, Otis only said, "Then be appropriate."

Arthur replied, looking out the window at the rosy sky, and thinking what was Lucia doing now?

Under the same sunset, Lucia was outside her office. However, she was not focused on her work as usual. Instead, she turned her chair to look out of the French window while looking at the red clouds outside, while gently stroking her own belly.

To be pregnant with Arthur's child again was a blessing for Lucia, especially in the quiet of the evening. It was a blessing that permeated every of her being. Even between her eyes, there was overflowing with tenderness.

Just as Lucia was enjoying the silence, footstep sound came from behind her. Lucia frowned. He was probably the only person who dared to enter her office without informing her!

She withdrew her hand from her stomach and had just moved her chair halfway back when her back was held by a pair of hands. When Lucia looked up, she saw Spencer's smiling face.

Lucia's frown deepened.

"Why didn't you tell me you have come back?" Spencer asked, looking down gently into Lucia's face.

"No need," replied Lucia coldly.

Spencer curled his lips and stared at Lucia quietly, as if he was trying to figure something out. Lucia's displeasure deepened when he stared at her. She forced her foot and turned the chair around to avoid Spencer's gaze.

Spencer was still standing by her desk. At this moment, Lucia's desk was immaculately clean. It was obvious that she hadn't worked since she came back in the afternoon. What was it that made her so engrossed in her thoughts?

"Lucia," Spencer whispered as he reached out and lifted a strand of Lucia's hair. "You didn't meet anyone in New York, did you?"

"Don't you know if Arthur followed me?" Lucia said sarcastically without thinking too much. When she noticed Spencer's movements, she turned sideways without hesitation to let her hair escape his palm.

Spencer chuckled and said, "I didn't say it was him."

"Next level?" Lucia's disgust was all in a low, cold tone.

"Of course, I've said that before. If you want me to continue to rescue Teddy, and to hand over Jacob, either you would be willing to stay with me or bear my children. Now it seems more difficult for you to be willing to love me than to bear my children."

Spencer talked of his threat to Lucia, not knowing that his theory couldn't be more heartless.

Lucia was furious. She stood up and glared at Spencer,

"Spencer, are you putting the cart before the horse?! A woman giving birth to a child for another man has to have love first! You want me to give birth to a child for you while hating you? Are you stupid or am I?!"

"What's the big deal? Wasn't Teddy born under these circumstances?" Spencer said nonchalantly, but his eyes were on Lucia's face, which had turned pink from anger. Even though she was glaring at him, Spencer still found her stunning.

"My relationship with Arthur doesn't allow you to criticize, but my relationship with you is clear. There is only benefit. I will not fall in love with you, nor will I give birth to a child for you!" Lucia said impatiently, and she had stated these words countless times.

"You don't have to jump to a conclusion," Spencer said with a smile, as if he was used to Lucia's rejection. "Life is long, and the future is unexpected."

Lucia stroked her brows and confirmed once again that talking to Spencer about ethics was futile, but she did need to figure out how to get Jacob's whereabouts out of him.

Seeing that Lucia was no longer refuting him, Spencer became more convinced that if he had the patience to talk to her, she would eventually give in. Thinking about this, contrary to Lucia's frustration, Spencer felt much better.
